Sleeping at the airports is a good way to save money and time while traveling, but it can be very tiring if the airport is not suitable.

Our first airport to describe will be Hamburg.


Actually, I am writing this post while being at the airport. A guy just asked me to leave the comfortable couch that I found, because it is not allowed to sit there.

Well, this airport is very big and there are comfortable sits everywhere. But not couches with table and plugs. The floor upstairs, where McDonald's are, is closed after 21:30 so there is no way you can continue sitting there.



You need to go and find another place. The problem is that on the ground floor for some reason the plugs are not working. At least ten of them, that I tried.

Everything on the ground floor and the first floor is closed after 21:30, and some counters for check-in closed even earlier. The airport is empty and you can only see the staff that is cleaning.
And some people, like me, who are trying to sleep.

But the lights are never out so it is kind of hard to sleep with all these lights above you. It depends on how tired you are I guess... And nobody expects to find an airport without lights. That would be scary I think 😨

But it is 21:30! It is too early to sleep, too early not to be hungry and too early not to be thirsty. So, make sure, if you ever plan to sleep at Hamburg airport, that you go and sit on the under-the-ground-floor floor! There is a whole new world there!

You can eat, drink, charge your phone, sleep and nobody will ask you to move away because the area is about to close.
There are some positive things, however. The WIFI is free and fast and unlimited! Also, the temperature is very good, you are not freezing nor sweating. The bathroom is also very clean, which is something very satisfying for public toilets.

Of course, all the information is for Terminal 1, because I have no idea what was happening in Terminal 2. But, from my quick visit, I would assume that it is the same situation.




In conclusion, I must say that Germany has some very good airports to sleep at. I have visited Frankfurt, Berlin, and Nuremberg and all of them were very comfortable.
So, If you are traveling somewhere and you need to make a stop at another airport I would suggest you choose Germany.

While staying in Rijeka we decided to visit Pula, a small city only 1 and half hours away from Rijeka. It is known for the Colosseum, one of the best preserved in the world.We thought that just one night and one morning would be enough since it's a very small city. We booked our bus ticket online and also our hotel room as well.

Rijeka to Pula
21:05 arrival at 22:45
Room near the city center, one bed, to guests.
All set!
It's lunch time so we decited to go to Trsat with Angeliki, our friend, the upper town of Rijeka. Ate pasta and pizza, talked and laughed. Later on we went for a walk and some shopping. The hours passed and it was time to go by the apartment to grab our stuff and go to the bus station. We still have an hour before the we were waiting at the Marina, that's only 3 minutes from the bus terminal.

So we sat and waited for the bust to start.

"Wow, it even has tables and I can charge my phone!" I said to Olga.
"Yes... but it's a bit early isn't it? I mean it leaves in 15 minutes..." Olga said to me.
"You want to ask again? we checked though, we already asked twice to make sure it's the right bus. But maybe we can ask the driver again" I proposed.
Olga moved to the front part, asked the driver and he said it's the right one. Okay, we're good, or at least that's what we thought.

A couple of minutes later, after we sat the man who checks the tickets came to us to see our tickets.
"Ne, to je pogrešna karta" said the man. (what does that mean? we know as much as you do)
"Uh, ne razumijem!" we said back to him. ("Uh, I don't understand")
"Ne ne, ------(something in croatian)-----"
"Sorry, Ne razumijem Hrvatski!"
"Karta ne, not right"
"Oh what? But we asked the driver" we said while making signs with our hands to let him understand.
"New karta, other karta!!" he said back to us.
Meanwhile it's almost 5 minutes to 21:00
"Stop the bus, we need to get the right bus!" we said
"Ne razumijem!" he says.
(WHAT? He doesn't know the word "stop" or "bus"?)
"Stop please we need to get down!"

After what felt like an hour to us but only two minutes later the driver stops the bus and we get down.
All pissed off and anxious we start running. Keep in mind it's almost 21:00 and our actuall bus leaves in 5 minutes! Only a few light in the street, it's dark so it takes us a few moments to realize where exactly he left us. We run and run and run. The lugguge is a bit heavy and it's even more tiring to run while carring in.
"Which way now???" Olga yells.
"This way" I say and point forward "We are near the student restaurant! Run faster!"


"Fffff, it's 21:00 we won't make it in time! Darn it, they are useless"
Our heart pounding, our breathing is fast and loud. We won't make it on time, we won't, I am about to cry because of stress I'm thinking. I can't belive this is happening!
Legs are starting to feel like they're going to break, we keep running and we see the bus station, it's looks so close but far away at the same time.

It felt like we were teleported somehow and we were back to the bus station on time. Hardly breathing, we asked three people if we were at the right stop.

Finally we made it to Pula and it was totally worth it. A beautiful small town next to the sea with parks and flowers everywhere. The Colosseum was magical under the night sky and when you look at it you feel like you are traveling back in time.


It is a very small town so we didn't have any problem finding the Studio in Pula center. It was an old croatian house, beautiful with two pair of doors and a cozy wooden couch. Of course we didn't enjoy it because we were so tired and we slept immediately. The host even had homemade cake for us!

The next day we woke up early to catch the airport bus, you can also take a taxi or uber but we were lucky this time and there was only one bus to the airport. That was our goodbye to Pula for now.

We are definately going back for an other adventure 😁
